#BringingUsCloser: 5 Easy Ways To Celebrate World MS Day

May 30th of each year marks World MS Day, and this year’s theme is research–or more specifically–celebrating the achievements made in MS research, and looking forward to what it will bring to the global MS community in the future.

1. Awareness, One Step At A Time

The foundation for any forward progress is awareness. Not ready to shout it from the mountaintops quite yet? Start small. And start with orange. Paint your fingernails orange. Or adorn your tootsies with these awesome orange shoelaces. Believe it or not, they’re quite an icebreaker!

2. Bad MS Puns Get On My Nerves

If vibrant footwear isn’t your jam, this plush neuron keychain is perfect to hang from your bag and start a conversation. My husband named mine “Lynn,” so that when people ask me what it is, I can answer: “It’s my Lynn.”

3. Wear Your Support On Your Sleeve, er, Neck

Want to support a cause, raise awareness, and be fashionable at the same time? Buy a necklace from Aware Causes and be a triple threat! There are dozens of diseases, disorders, and causes to choose from, and they donate a percentage of each sale to a charity benefiting the respective cause! And they also accept PayPal for quick, convenient, and secure payment!
